<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Made over with an "introduction" from President Obama and some new scenes, 'The Suburban Itch,' is released for public viewing free of charge on Youtube.com. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Link to the 10-minute film: </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR74fQhkIC0" target="_blank">'The Suburban Itch' (YouTube)</a></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The film is a spoof of a role reversal, which takes on racial profiling with humor and Memphis hip-hop music to help the social justice message go down.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"The film is a lesson in being quick to judge one another," said director Gary Moore. "It also helps us self-examine if we view circumstances differently, based on what someone looks like.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The rash of racial profiling and unarmed black men being shot and killed by law enforcement -- or wannabes in the case of George Zimmerman murdering Trayvon Martin -- inspired the film as did President Obama's analysis after Zimmerman's acquittal," Moore said.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Filmed in Memphis, 'The Suburban Itch' hometown-premiered November 8, 2015, at the Indie Memphis Film Festival. The film also was screened at LA- and NYC-area festivals and venues in 2015 and 2016. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The film is prospectively a feature film, or the basis of an episodic series. Moore Media & Entertainment also is developing other projects, including an episodic comedy series. Moore also has produced documentary features Who Will Watch the Watchers? and #TakeEmDown. </span></span><br />

Rotterdam, The Netherlands, pitched hard to play the mom, and she assured me
she would work for no pay and would handle her own transportation and housing
for a chance to be part of this story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

inches, printed on 100-pound, semi-gloss card stock -- meaning it's substantial and is on nice photo paper. <br />
In Hollywood lore, posters can make the movie. The poster can spark interest in the film and can make moviegoers want to find out what happens.<br />
With our poster photo, showing the handcuffed pair in distress, what do you imagine is going on? Where is the conflict coming from? What's gonna happen next? Stay tuned!<br />
We usually see posters sent rolled up in a tube; however, these are too substantial for that, so we will send them -- any quantity you wish -- as a flat piece in an official USPS bubble wrap, oversized envelope. $20 each, no extra charge for shipping, etc. <br />
Order through PayPal at the button on the top right -- you do not have to have a PayPal account; you may pay by credit or debit card, or however PayPal will allow. Estimated 5 business days to ship. Proceeds will go toward marketing "The Suburban Itch" and project development.

a Southern accent – at least by local standards – and he is thoughtful and
well-spoken. A slender fellow, Hicks has a wide smile that flashes
out from under his ball cap and black-rimmed glasses, which bring to mind a
young Spike Lee.</span></div>

<span style="background: white; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">You want your hip-hop
artists to fit a stereotype? You think a message-focused emcee is
the same as a commercial rapper? Knowledge Nick may not be the guy
for you. Hicks has no tattoos, and he makes music with a message of
guidance for the people, rather than boasting about his cars, chains or
“shorties.”</span></div>

how things went down, Hicks later trekked to the Memphis Police Department
Internal Affairs office to complain and talk things over. The MPD
representative said, according to Hicks, “’Well, you did this, and you did that,’

<br />
<br />
DeMarcus Malone, the white guy who is hassled by police for looking "suspicious" in a poor neighborhood, is a prize-winning print reporter. Ultimately a victim of the times, DeMarcus loses his job when the fictional newspaper, the Memphis News-Times, closes shop. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.memphisflyer.com/NewsBlog/archives/2014/09/23/commercial-appeal-announces-format-changes-17-employees-laid" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Reality blows. The Commercial Appeal cut 17 employees in September. Owner E.W. Scripps concurrently announced it was selling off its print assets and The Commercial Appeal would be owned by the Milwaukee-based Journal Media Group. Click to read story in the Memphis Flyer.</span></a><span style="color: blue;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"></span><br />
<a href="http://www.nashvillescene.com/nashville/the-tennesseans-newsroom-of-the-future-means-cuts-turmoil-and-rock-bottom-morale-at-present/Content?oid=4357474" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">The Tennessean in August fired all of its reporters, editors and photographers and told them they could re-apply for jobs with a spin-off print company reorganized by media giant Gannett. Click to read story in the Nashville Scene</span></a><span style="color: blue;">.</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Go to </span><a href="http://www.memphisnewstimes.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">www.MemphisNewsTimes.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> to see the stories that James Miles reads on his cell phone while his daughter Marybeth is handcuffed to DeMarcus. Yeah, we created a website for DeMarcus' failed paper. DeMarcus is the subject of, not the reporter of, one story, headlined: "Our Reporter Beaten, Arrested at Occupy Wall Street!"</span> <br />
<br />
<br />
So, the mass media conglomerates are throwing out their print holdings with both hands while hanging onto TV and digital assets. Gannett, publisher of USA Today and the nation's largest newspaper chain, is doing companywide what they did to The Tennessean, cutting editorial staff across the board by 15 percent. <br />
<br />
<br />
Who is going to take up the slack left by the demise of journalism? The ability of the people to be informed is protected in the First Amendment, which sets aside the press as the only commercial endeavor which gets such elevated status.<br />
<br />
<br />
Network TV news no longer exists as a separate division, as did CBS News during the years of Walter Cronkite. The operation may or may not have been profitable any given year, but that was not the point. There was prestige for the network and honor in doing an important job. Now, all network news outfits are wholly within the corporate structure, which means the measure of their success is the bottom line, not good journalism.<br />
<br />
<br />
Instead of digging for the stories -- and the stories under the surface -- the contemporary media fill us up with cats chasing balloons and Kardashian sightings. <br />
<br />
<br />
Instead of editors with strong backgrounds in journalism, today's daily newspapers are headed by "content executives," which means simply this:<br />
<br />
<br />
Give the people in our target demographic what they want -- not what they need -- and what will drive circulation and ad volume. These new-era managers talk about "user experience" and, as The Tennessean's executive editor Stefanie Murray spun, the "newsroom of the future" as we are "continually reinventing ourselves." <br />
<br />
<br />
Is former Tennessean editor and publisher John Seigenthaler, who died in 2014, already rolling over in his grave? The top three execs now in The Tennessean's newsroom combined have less than five years experience. <br />
